Both Elasticsearch and Kibana version are 6.2.3.Nginx would foward requests from 9201 to 9200.  
First，I installed x-pack in Elasticsearch .Then I started up Kibana and it worked .But something was wrong after I installed x-pack in x-pack.When I started up Kibana ,it gived below errors.

```auto

elasticsearch.yml

```auto

cluster.name: my-es-cluster

node.name: tc-1

network.host: 127.0.0.1

http.port: 9200

#x-pack
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: false
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: /usr/local/elasticsearch/config/certs/elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: /usr/local/elasticsearch/config/certs/elastic-certificates.p12

```

kibana.yml

```auto

server.name: "elk-kibana"

Hi,

Please read through the documentation, a good starting place is [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ssl-tls.html)

Your requests time out because Kibana can't reach Elasticsearch. Are you sure that nginx can still proxy requests to Elasticsearch now that you have enabled TLS in elasticsearch on 9200 ? I could guess that nginx is still configured to proxy to Elasticsearch as a non-TLS backend and that causes the problem ( this would be evident in your Elasticsearch logs )

Also keep in mind that your

`xpack.security.transport.ssl.` settings affect the [transport layer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/configuring-tls.html#tls-transport) only, not [http](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/configuring-tls.html#tls-http) so if you are trying to disable TLS on http layer for testing, you need: `xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: false` instead.

Finally, with TLS disabled (something that we do **not** suggest you do ) the rest of the`xpack.security.transport.ssl.` settings are not needed/used.
